Colette Paris

Yesterday I did a grand tour of Colette Paris on 213 rue Saint-Honore 75001, Metro - TuilleriesColette's logo - blue dots...Are everywhere... There is a general dottiness about this boutique... As BEAR found out last time he visited...

A lot of friendly bears here too...

By 'dottiness', you can find all manner of things eclectic, whimsical, funny...

At all price ranges...

Whatever is au courant in Paris - there is a big new Jean-Michel Basquiat show at the musee d'Art Moderne and a new film just opened, so it's in Colette's DVD section...

Tons of techie equipment as well...

If there's a new interesting book out, Colette will have it on their tables. *Note the Japan Fashion Now catalog. You saw it first at PB.

Colette is a must see for me next time I go to Paris...hopefully next summer...But that blue animal with the gumballs inside is not a bear, is it? It appears to be a blue monkey to me!Have you been affected by the strikes in Paris? Yesterday the news reported over 1 million protesters throughout France.

I am so cold I could use on of those fluffy coats there, plus one of those nice leopard bags, just because!Freezing rain is not a good thing! Keep yourself warm with a hot soup, hot chocolate, a few eclairs and a movie tonight!Take care.

I bought a leopard bag at he the Bon Marche 2-3 yrs ago. Each trip I allow myself only 1 gift & when I saw that bag I had to have it. When I got home, I thought 'what were you thinking!!' & haven't used it more than twice. Guess I need to get it out & see if I fall in love again.
